FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
The following functions can be mapped to radio controller channels. These are found
in the Radio section of the Configurations menu in the ALTA App. Each function
is also represented by a chart that responds to control input allowing for quick
verification of mapping settings.
CONTROLLER
Use this to select the appropriate receiver. The following guide is compiled for
convenience. For complete specifications and which mode will work with your
receiver, refer to your radio controller or receiver manuals.
»
DSM2/DSMX are typically used by Spektrum and some JR controllers.
»
SBUS is typically used by Futaba controllers.
»
PPM is a generic standard used by many controllers and receivers.
»
PPM Invert is the same as PPM except channel inputs are reversed.
»
PPM Graupner interprets Graupner radio PPM inputs.
PITCH/ROLL/YAW/THROTTLE
The Pitch, Roll, Yaw and Throttle controls are the basic flight controls and are
mapped to the two radio controller sticks.
MODE
The required Mode Switch selects between the three different flight modes: Manual,
Height and Position. A three-position switch is recommended to select the three
different modes. However, a two-position switch may be used, but will only allow for
selecting between Manual Mode and (depending on radio controller mixes) either
Position Mode or Height Mode
HOME SWITCH
The optional Home Switch selects between the different Return-To-Home (RTH)
functions. A three-position switch is required for the Home Switch functions to
select between the Set New Home Position, RTH Off, and initiate RTH functions.
VELOCITY AND CLIMB RATE CLAMP
Velocity and Climb Rate Clamps set the maximum ground speed or vertical speed
available in Height Mode and Position Mode. The clamps can be adjusted mid-flight.
An analog dial or slider is recommended for the Velocity and Climb Rate Clamp
Functions.
